Even when we stay in a high-quality motel, it'll cost LESS than owning my motorhome.
What's really costly is if you own a big motorhome, and leave it at home while you go on a trip that'll require you to stay in a motel. This is the type of trip that makes me stay in a bad mood.
We prefer to travel in our motorhome, and we prefer to stay in our motorhome when we get there (for all the reasons already stated). The way I do it is more HASSLE-FREE than trying to find a suitable motel (and staying there).
"There's no place like home"....be it the permanent home or the one on wheels.
